Abstract
The aim of this study was to demonstrate the potential of a wireless pixelated β+-sensitive intracerebral probe (PIXSIC) for in vivo positron emission tomographic (PET) radiopharmacology in awake and freely moving rodents. The binding of [(11)C]raclopride to D2 dopamine receptors was measured in anesthetized and awake rats following injection of the radiotracer. Competitive binding was assessed with a cold raclopride injection 20 minutes later. The device can accurately monitor binding of PET ligands in freely moving rodents with a high spatiotemporal resolution. Reproducible time-activity curves were obtained for pixels throughout the striatum and cerebellum. A significantly lower [(11)C]raclopride tracer-specific binding was observed in awake animals. These first results pave the way for PET tracer pharmacokinetics measurements in freely moving rodents.

期刊介绍:
Molecular Imaging is a peer-reviewed, open access journal highlighting the breadth of molecular imaging research from basic science to preclinical studies to human applications. This serves both the scientific and clinical communities by disseminating novel results and concepts relevant to the biological study of normal and disease processes in both basic and translational studies ranging from mice to humans.
